This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The Edelman overturn was a poor overturn. by tdiddy07
There is a black shadow that the ball gets lost in, you can't see the ball move, and you see the ball secured on the interior fore arm, which makes it possible that the ball had stopped descending as the body was turned.
Compared to the Hogan catch, which was probably like 70 percent likely that he caught it so an obvious call stands, I'd call this one a toss up. The call should've stood.
Refs frequently assume the ball hit the ground based on poor angles in which it is not at all clear a ball hit the ground.
